Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Postponed
The murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, the only suspect ever charged in the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur, has been postponed for nearly a year. The trial, previously scheduled for next month in Las Vegas, has been rescheduled for February 9, 2026.
Judge Carli Kierny granted the postponement due to new developments presented by Davis' defense attorneys and the need to ensure a fair trial. The defense team argued that critical investigative work and witness interviews were still needed. They also raised questions about the manner of Shakur's death and the validity of immunity agreements Davis claims to have reached with prosecutors.
Davis, an ex-gang leader accused of orchestrating Shakur's killing, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. He has acknowledged providing the gun used in the shooting but claims his previous statements about orchestrating the attack were for entertainment purposes.
Prosecutors maintain they have strong evidence against Davis and that any immunity agreement was limited. They are confident in their case and are prepared to proceed with the trial in 2026.
The postponement has left many wondering if the truth behind Shakur's murder will ever be fully revealed. The additional time may allow for further investigation and potentially shed new light on the case. However, it also prolongs the wait for justice for Shakur's family and fans.

Davis should have been behind bars a long time ago. He's admitted to providing the gun and claims his admission of orchestrating the attack was just "entertainment." Who believes that?
